On the evening of November 29, 1995, Stretch was on his way home after dropping off his brother Chris when he was killed after being chased and shot four times in the back by at least two men who pulled up alongside his green minivan in a black car at 112th Avenue and 209th Street in Queens Village just after 12:30 A.M., while he was driving. His minivan smashed into a tree and hit a parked car before flipping over. Stretch was killed exactly one year after Tupac's 1994 Quad Studio shooting, and many people believe that Stretch was killed as a form of retaliation related to Tupac.[2]
